Elon says neoclouds execution risk is very real. Some neoclouds will prove to be operators and some will be exposed as promoters. The unsecured bonds have capped upsides and IMO close to zero in a bankruptcy so market is demanding high yields. Big dispersion = higher yields
Replying to @firstadopter
Only if they can get their compute online and reliable, which is extremely difficult to do at scale

Oil traders are increasingly pricing the battle over the Strait of Hormuz as the new normal. Futures contracts for brent crude in December 2027 are now close to $90 a barrel, the highest ever and a sharp departure from even a month ago.

Important color from this week’s CIO level Ideas Dinner in NYC, special thanks to the Harvard Club for hosting a UMass guy. Software $IGV ETF off -5% today - After weaker (potentially disruptive) incoming data, many fortune 500 companies (like Goldman) are moving away from “frontier models” in favor of a portfolio of cheaper open source plays. Alert - Anthropic needs to juice their forward looking revenue - Pollyannish outlook - into the (expected) November IPO, software names have a target 🎯 on their back. cc @chamath @RealJimChanos @jimwpaulsen @nfergus @andrewrsorkin @RaoulGMI

Shot last week, @MichelleMakori is ALWAYS a few steps ahead.
Rate cuts by early 2027? Larry McDonald @Convertbond argues the Fed can’t sustain rate hikes amid $1.1 trillion in government debt interest and mounting consumer stress. He sees a potential shift toward rate cuts and opportunities in gold, silver, REITs, and utilities. Watch the full interview on The Real Story with @MichelleMakori. YouTube Link in the replies.

A must read, perfect timing Robin.
🎇 Happy US publication day to A FABULOUS DEBT! 🎇 The working title of the book was The Greatest Show on Earth: An Affectionate Biography of the Bond Market, which probably sums up my feelings about the subject.
